Hades was the oldest boy child of Kronos and Rhea. He was said to have bad luck, and that showed when he and his other brothers rolled a dice for the ownership of the three parts of the world, sea, sky, and underworld, Hades got the worst roll; the underworld. He was mistaken death himself, but that was another god, Thanatos. The Greeks didn't like saying his name, thinking it was bad luck. They thought saying his name would bring early death. Hades was the god of the dead and the underworld, but he was also the god of precious gems, because he was ruler of the underworld and under earth. He is married to Persephone, daughter of Demeter.
